MCI Consultants, a primary solutions provider within the financial markets since 1992, today announced some enhancements to its Stock Broker applications portfolio that offers clients the ability to leverage hosted trading, portfolio and online trading solutions from a single location.
"We offer a complete software as a service (SaaS) option that provides clients with a full hosted service, including the hardware required to run the service, connectivity to the JSE and management of the environment," commented Jan Rabbets, Business Partner of MCI Consultants. "Or alternatively, we can offer a co-location solution whereby clients can install their own servers in our hosted environment, where we will provide connectivity to the JSE and the management of this environment.
"Either of these options can be utilised as a client's primary site and as a hot backup or data recovery solution," continued Rabbets. "Regardless of which option is chosen, MCI assumes complete responsibility for the client's systems, which can be up and running quickly; clients will enjoy the benefits of reduced costs for hardware and lower connectivity costs to the JSE; and MCI provides security by ensuring that the client's data is backed up daily.
"Lastly, but very importantly, MCI is able to customise the client's software solutions to suit their specific needs," concluded Rabbets, "which is a capability that we alone can offer and is possible because of the experience we have accumulated in this market over many years."
MCI provides mission-critical software and IT services to institutions in virtually every segment of the financial services industry. As a JSE accredited supplier and an accredited JSE Shared Infrastructure Provider (SIP), MCI serves as a primary IT solutions provider to the stock broking community and is today considered to be at the forefront of the industry.
